12 $33,501,777,443 $34,159,149,369.
13     The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section 16 of
14 this Act are herein called "Bonds".
15     Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to

17 the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of
18 issuing debt by improving the marketability of Illinois General
19 Obligation Bonds.
